EASI—enrichment of alternatively spliced isoforms
Alternative splicing produces more than one protein from the majority of genes and the rarer forms can have dominant functions. Instability of alternative transcripts can also hinder the study of regulation of gene expression by alternative splicing. To investigate the true extent of alternative splicing we have developed a simple method of enriching alternatively spliced isoforms (EASI) from P...
متن کاملIntracellular calcium activates TRPM2 and its alternative spliced isoforms.
Melastatin-related transient receptor potential channel 2 (TRPM2) is a Ca(2+)-permeable, nonselective cation channel that is involved in oxidative stress-induced cell death and inflammation processes. Although TRPM2 can be activated by ADP-ribose (ADPR) in vitro, it was unknown how TRPM2 is gated in vivo. Moreover, several alternative spliced isoforms of TRPM2 identified recently are insensitiv...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced isoforms of the human constitutive androstane receptor.
The nuclear receptor CAR (NR1I3) regulates transcription of genes encoding xenobiotic- and steroid-metabolizing enzymes. Regulatory processes that are mediated by CAR are modulated by a structurally diverse array of chemicals including common pharmaceutical and environmental agents. Here we describe four in-frame splice variants of the human CAR receptor gene. The variant mRNA splice transcript...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced isoforms encoded by cadherin genes from C. elegansgenome
Cadherins are calcium-dependent, homophilic, cell-cell adhesion receptors that regulate morphogenesis, pattern formation and cell migration. The C. elegans Genome Sequencing Consortium has reported 12 genes from C. elegansgenome encoding members of the cadherin superfamily. Alternative splicing of eukaryotic pre-mRNAs is a mechanism for generating potentially many transcript isoforms from a sin...
متن کاملTissue-specific distributions of alternatively spliced human PECAM-1 isoforms.
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is a cell adhesion molecule that is highly expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and some hematopoietic cells. Its cytoplasmic domain is encoded by multiple exons, which undergo alternative splicing. Here, we demonstrate that the human PECAM-1 cytoplasmic domain undergoes alternative splicing, generating six different isoforms. RT-...
